When Susannah Cries

Espen Lind

When Susannah cries


she cries a rainstorm


she cries a river


she cries a hole in the ground





She cries for love


she cries a sad song


she cries a shiver


sometimes she cries for me too





And I say I'll never hurt her


but she knows it isn't true


'cos although I never told her


I think she knows bout me and you


now she cries with silent tension


this can't be right


and the downtown special cries along


'cos I'm leaving tonight





Now I slip the night around her


and I hope she'll be okay


I just pray someone will find her


and guide her along her way


'cos I'm leaving on the 1 am


by soon I'm out of sight


but she'll always be my baby


though I'm leaving tonight





Every night I hear her


talking in her sleep


she says «You know I'll always be there»


and I feel like such a creep


please take back the love she gave to me


and in time her grief will pass


just tell her that I loved her


now it's all she has
